Should I buy this and then buy a stronger tie-out since my dog is 80 lbs?

The cable is recommended for 60 pound dogs. That being said, the tie out is very short and I recommend replacing it anyways. The dog run itself is a very sturdy cable and I don't see an issue with your 80 pound dog unless it's very hard on the cable with excessing pulling. In my case I only used 70ft and was able to use cable cutters to cut off the excess.

It is questionable for different reasons. The line was fine but the clasp and hook began to rust almost immediately. BTW, my do is about the same I felt it was strong enough.

If the leash part was this weak I would only assume the rest of it may not be as strong as it should be. I wouldn't trust it.

YES!!! I would test it ... my less then 40lb dog ripped the TIE-ins that I anchored into my tree right out of the tree. If you have an active, strong dog, I think it will be ripped out when your dog is running hard. AGAIN! I used (2) trees in my back yard. Good luck! FYI: I still have my "stuff" never asked for a refund.

we have dogs that are just under 50 and the line frayed after a couple of months so my guess is you will need a version for larger dogs, otherwise it works well.

Yes definitely too strong! I have a 50lb boxer mix & I barely like to use it on her. It makes her cower.

I would try it. It will definitely support their weight as long as you can handle them pulling. Much easier than 2 separate leashes.

It won't help with extreme seperarion. The crate is strong, but your dog might be sad in there. My dog was too old to start crate training he went nuts in there, but I am saving crate for the next dog I get. The crate itself is awesome quality very strong, so your dog will be safe

probably not ... I'm sure there's some way you could rig it up with zip ties & want not, but your dog would run the risk of cutting himself on the metal that's inside the crate. you could always order it & return it if it didn't work, Amazon's great with returns!

I think you may want to get a more sturdy crate. I have a 20 lb dog so he is small and has lots of room. A 49 lb dog may be able to escape this one, especially if the dog is in the crate for an extended time.

I have Golder Ret (85 lbs) and the fabric couldn't hold him. The rip happened in the fabric not the switches. So the fabric is not designed for large dogs. If your dog is 100lbs then this is not for you

Yes it will my dog is only 60 pounds and he loves to pull. He is a plot hound lab retriever mix. I bought this and just like that pulling stopped . The design helps to not hurt him the choke is al the way up the neck. I don't like choke collars but Cesar is right on with this one.

We have a 80 pound Ridgeback and she loves her Bene's. I suggest at least getting one and trying it out.

Personally for a 20lbs dog I wouldn't buy it. They can't possibly have a high enough pain tolerance to ignore other training collars or be strong enough to pull you down the street. I have a 62lbs pure muscle dog. If I were you I would go for a martingale collar. It fully closes around the whole neck which is less stress to the dogs throat and with a quick few corrections he should be in his place.

If it were up to me, I would go with something more robust in terms of leashes. I guess the main question is: how did the leash separate and get lost? My guess is that the clip on the leash broke off. Chances are good that the webbing didn't rip and the child didn't manually disconnect anything (due to anchor placement). In my opinion, your best bet is to get something more robust than the Kid Keeper's included leash can offer. Based on the variety of products in the market that I've tested, I'd say you have two options; the nature of your outings and travel patterns of the child will likely dictate which one would be preferred. The first is a good retractable dog leash. Most manufacturers offer product in a few different weight classes and I recommend the "large dog" range. These are rated for dogs up to 110 lbs. Not only does the webbing provide more tensile strength, but the clasps, pulleys, and handle are all robust enough to restrain a full grown golden retriever, let alone a fired-up toddler making a bee-line for the candy aisle. Should a handheld apparatus such as this not meet your needs, I suggest you go the anchor-to-anchor route. I'm likely butchering the technical terminology, but the fact is that if you use quality climbing rope and 800+ lbs. carabiners on both ends, you can securely cement your child's chest rig to your own full body harness. By employing your own full body harness, you also have the added benefit of a lower center of gravity to offset the child's power to height ratio. Good luck!

I have a 75lb lab mix on this and it's fine. He doesn't pull much though. I think if your dog is going to be pulling it a lot it won't hold him.

I have a Belgian Malnois. He is about 75lbs. I use the leash for tracking and training and haven't had any issues. This leash is not for tie out because they could easily chew through it.

I would think so. My puppy has outgrown it, but I don't remember it being that long. It would be worth it even if you have to tie a knot at the top.

I am sorry to say but probably not. My 9lb shih tzu is almost to big. My 11 lb does ok but they don't stay on the table, they tend to fall off. I'm actually thinking I need to look for a better option. Even with two harnesses the table is not the best idea for larger heavier dogs. My 9 lb guy managed to knock the table over and was choking himself with the harness and I only bent down to pick up my clippers. Scared me to death and now I don't trust the table for anything.

It might be a little small. I have a 20 lb Bichon and she fits through it easily. Also, I had to buy nuts and covered bolts and attach it that way. The item would not stay stuck together without it.

The DoggyRide Original is wonderful. An 80 pound dog will be ok...sitting, or curled up. Not a lot of room to stretch out but most prefer to sit with their head up watching the sights. You'll just need to desensitize to first the enclosure and then the movement. Good luck and have fun!
